SuperCam Flight Hardware
Comat
Precision mechanical flight hardware supplied by Comat for the SuperCam instrument aboard NASA's Mars Perseverance rover.
About
Comat contributed precision mechanical flight hardware to SuperCam, the remote-sensing instrument suite (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, imaging) mounted on the mast of NASA’s Perseverance rover, which has been exploring Jezero Crater on Mars since 2021.
SuperCam was developed through a France–US collaboration led by CNES and the French research laboratories, with Comat supplying mechanical components meeting the extreme reliability and environmental requirements of a Mars surface mission.
